Well, the main reason is still that no one did the job yet.

At least not with standard command or any extensions I'm aware of, but there 
are tools like procmail.

Actually that should work, at least it worked the last time I tried it. You 
just can only filter to local destination folders yet.

It probably doesn't make much sense to ask the server several times per

copy.
Also we do mostly need to know more about the folder, than just the name, if 
we don't want to be very ineffective.
